CDL unveils offer for Millennium & Copthorne

The deal would value the hotel group at about $3.2b.

City Developments Limited (CDL) is looking to buy out its London-listed hotel arm Millennium & Copthorne (M&C) for 552.5 pence a share, a deal with a total of $3.2b.

The consideration price would amount to 545 pence per share.

M&C's independent directors will recommend an offer by CDL to M&C Shareholders.

CDL said that it intends to maintain M&C’s current business model, in particular, to run the business as an owner and operator of its hotel portfolio.

It clarified that it has no intention to sell or repurpose any of M&C’s hotels in London or in New York.

CDL currently owns 65.20% of M&C shares.

CDL has until 6 November 2017 to announce its intention to make an offer for M&C.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
